Bowmore 1997 Distillery Manager's Selection / Distillery Shop
Islay’s oldest working distillery, Bowmore was established in 1779 and is now regarded as one of the most popular malts not only on Islay, but in the whole of Scotland. The distillery was acquired by Stanley P. Morrison in 1963, ushering in an era of iconic single malts, including the legendary Black Bowmore, credited by many as the genesis of whisky collecting, bottled in 1993. The distillery was bought under the control Suntory the year after (they had been stakeholders since 1989), and it remains one of the most collectible brands in Scotch whisky today. Bowmore is one of the few remaining Scottish distilleries to use its own floor maltings, providing them with 40% of their requirements.
A fantastic Bowmore, distilled in 1997 and matured exclusively in first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads which were selected by distillery manager David Turner.
It was released in 2019 and is one of only 3000 bottles.
